Chapter four hundred and eighty third concealed without understanding
"Whenever a wise ruler governs a country, let his power prevail." [Han Feizi·Eight Classics]
"... Now under the command of General Pingbei, with clear virtues and strong relatives, he has established a strong army and raised troops to the north of Hebei to relieve the people's worries. They will arrive at the west mountain of Yi Jing in a few days. Weng has mentioned the plan before, and I hope it will be detailed. My son paused.
"
Yuan Shao took the letter, which had been revised several times, and finally nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's right. Gongsun Xu's literary talent is not good, and the letter he wrote can be understood at a glance. If Kong Zhang had written it complicatedly, it would be better."
It’s easy to become suspicious.”
Chen Lin, who was being treated as a swordsman and penman, heard this and almost walked away on the spot. He said that he had some character. In the past, he and Zhang Jin were the same disciples of General He Jin and others. Serving Yuan Shao these years is not a bad thing.
.Now, because she has excused herself from writing a letter, she is being humiliated by him as a writer. Has this happened before? Chen Lin was furious for a moment. Even if she wanted to write a family letter in Gongsun Xu's tone, she needed to do it.
He deliberately suppressed the writing style, but he couldn't care less.
Yuan Shao folded the silk several times, pretended not to see Chen Lin's expression, and still ordered: "Call someone to pretend to be a messenger and deliver this letter to Yi Jing."
He did not specifically target Chen Lin in this matter. Yuan Shao knew that the proposal to establish King Pingyuan as emperor was not approved by everyone. Although it was done carefully and the layout was detailed, some people still expressed rejection and even expressed their disapproval of the court's future plans.
She was afraid of revenge. Chen Lin didn't mention it. Even Guo Tu, Pang Ji and others, in their words and deeds, didn't they unintentionally reveal a tone of badmouthing the Yuan family?
Tian Feng's tone was sincere because he was indeed at a critical juncture and had to hurry and do everything quickly.
It's just that Yuan Shao understood all these things, but what he didn't understand was that when reviewing the imperial court's achievements over the years, decisive victories were often only achieved in Hedong, Yizhou and other places. The so-called elite northern and southern armies were praised by people all over the world.
Yuan Shao boasted that his Jizhou strong crossbows and Youzhou cavalry were not weaker than ordinary elite soldiers, and he had never faced the enemy directly with the Northern and Southern armies. How could he be destined to be inferior to the imperial court in the eyes of these people?
Is the so-called ‘great righteousness’ so daunting? But isn’t what he supports not orthodox?
Yuan Shao couldn't figure it out, and Guo Tu and others couldn't figure it out either. Of course, there were reasons for the imperial court's effective management of Guanzhong and its own strength gradually shining brightly. There was also the reason why the emperor had deliberately promoted propaganda over the years. In Kansai, and even
In the eyes of the people in Guandong, Yuzhou and other places, the imperial court was not only famous for its martial arts, but also for its wise and wise emperor, who was kind and kind to the people. Just one sentence of "God Xiao Guangwu" was enough to defeat the confidence of most stubborn resisters.
The civil and military skills and social sentiment and public opinion established in the past few years allowed the emperor to arrive in Guandong and as soon as the edict was issued, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Liu Biao and other princes would obey him and gather to follow him.
The allegiance of this series of princes and warlords further contributed to the legitimacy of the emperor's destiny and the revival of the Han Dynasty. In comparison, Yuan Shaonong's Xingping court was a grass-stage team that directed and acted on its own.
Yuan Shao opened his right palm and muttered to himself: "Skills are used by means." He turned his palm downwards with the back of his hand facing up: "Fights are combined by means?" Then he turned the palm of his left hand.
Face up, palms facing up.
After everyone left, Guo Tu left and came back. After all, he was so frustrated that he went in with his tent. Seeing Yuan Shao in a daze, he couldn't help but call out a few times.
Yuan Shao felt unhappy and raised his eyes to look at him.
"Ming Gong." Guo Tu said after careful consideration: "Tian Feng just introduced the rapist, and he often embarrassed Ming Gong in public. After thinking about it, this is certainly due to his temperament, but it cannot be said.
They have no resentment in their hearts.”
Yuan Shao snorted lightly, looked at his palms, and continued to think about things in his mind, asking Guo Tu to continue.
"Tian Feng and others never agreed with their words and promised to support the reform of the Yuan Dynasty. The war was imminent and the war spread to Jizhou. Naturally, what these powerful people care about is the local family property. I heard that after Tian Fen returned home, he packed up his property and had thousands of children and servants.
They have a fortune of tens of thousands." Guo Tu said: "Once the war has a slight setback, how can they sit still? And Tian Feng is too talented. Does Ming Gong still remember that he went to Huguan in the west? Tian Feng swore that he would be able to do what he said.
Support the people in Hebei and control Guanzhong from a distance, but what happens next?"
He took advantage of Yuan Shao's inattention and blamed Tian Feng for his original tactical mistakes. After Yuan Shao thought about it, he roughly remembered that it was indeed Tian Feng who strongly agreed that year, so he went to join the party, but he was disgraced as a result. Now.
This time he went south to Yanxu, joined forces with Yuan Shu at Huaihai, combined the forces of the north and the south, and the strategic decision to contain the imperial troops was also based on the advice of Tian Feng, Ju Shou and others. Yuan Shao had already been dissatisfied with Tian Feng's arrogant attitude, and now he was even more
Guo Tunu was so upset that he suppressed his anger and said, "This matter will not be discussed until Youzhou has decided it. Don't mention it again."
Guo Tu didn't seem to hear the impatience in Yuan Shao's tone, and added to his anger: "Wei Wei, I am also aggrieved for Ming Gong. I want to make a plan to send troops in front of all the generals in the army. Ming Gong should give the order.
Today, the decision is all decided by him alone. Even if what he says is very reasonable and his troops are quick and valuable, it is not his turn to overstep his authority by one of his subordinates, and this is in front of Duke Ming."
"Snapped"
Yuan Shao slapped his palm on the hard table, veins popped out on the back of his hand, and he stared at Guo Tu angrily.
Guo Xixiang was frightened and retreated sarcastically.
Youzhou, Yijing.
night.
The lights in Yuan Xi's camp in the south were dim, the flags were turned but did not sound, and there were only sporadic sounds of watchmen beating.
Gongsun Zan stood quietly at the corner of the city, looking at the faint moonlight for a while, and for a while at the silent enemy camp opposite. His eyes wandered back and forth in several places, and the one he looked at the most was the northwest direction of Yijing.
There is a lowland in that direction, which is filled with water every summer, making it impossible for people and horses to walk. But only in winter and spring, this place becomes dry, cold and hard, and becomes a smooth road. This place has long been known to Gongsun Zan, who has been here all year round.
, but the commander of the enemy camp opposite has only been in Yijing for less than a year, how can he know the secrets here?
Therefore, after Gongsun Zan received Gongsun Xu's letter, he immediately thought of this place, so he sent someone to reply and ordered him to ask Liu Yu to allocate 5,000 men to ride in Beixi. When the troops arrived, he raised fire in response.
He led the remaining ten thousand cavalry out of the city to attack the camp. To the west of Yijing were Wuhuan, Wuwan and other miscellaneous troops commanded by Yan Rou. The military discipline was corrupt. Once attacked, Yuan Xi would be driven away and fled to Yijing.
, Zhang He camp.
By then, no matter how good Zhang He was at marching and setting up formations, he would still be no match for Gongsun Zan and others' joint attack.
Gongsun Zan thought about his plan, and the more he thought about it, the more proud he became. He brushed aside his previous decadence and pointed out to Guan Jing beside him: "When Yuan Xi's son died, Wu Huan was afraid of my reputation, and his troops and horses were damaged, so he must flee far away. You
There is no opponent for me in the state, so I can gather all my troops and horses, rush to Nanpi at one go, capture those traitors who claim to be emperor, and present their heads to the court. This will be the first great achievement of my comeback. Let's see if the people of the world have forgotten me.
Gongsun Zan."
Guan Jing was not as confident as Gongsun Zan, and his mood was easily fluctuated. Although he was fascinated by the blueprint drawn by Gongsun Zan, he still couldn't help but doubt: "This time Liu Gong is willing to put aside his resentment and send troops to help, which is really unexpected...
…It’s not that I overthink it, but Mr. Liu seems to be a generous person, but in fact he holds a grudge. Back then in Youzhou, the princes and princes almost came to blows with each other, but now..."
"Do you think he is willing?" Gongsun Zan chuckled and said: "If he doesn't come, he will abandon the overall situation for his own selfish reasons, and just trap me to death. How will he explain to the court in the future? Besides, he has soldiers but is not good at using them.
, I make good use of it but don’t have enough soldiers. If the two work together, they can overthrow Hebei and achieve special achievements! This is a good thing that benefits others, me, and the world. It can not only gain a reputation of generosity, but also achieve peace in the north. He
You won’t be so short-sighted.”
Guan Jing thought about it carefully and agreed, so he didn't mention it again.
Their ideas were all very good, but they never thought that Liu Yu did not have the 30,000 elite soldiers mentioned in the letter, nor did they think of the embarrassing situation that even Liu Yu himself was not aware of, and the fact that Liu Yu had already withdrawn from Changshan.
A few red stars suddenly flashed in the northern wilderness, and then the stars flew like fireflies, and sparks burst out, forming a fire dragon that meandered from a distance.
"Coming!" Gongsun Zan whispered, as if he was worried that his voice would spread down the city and wake up the enemy.
